My Artistic Adventure
When I was a child in Ireland, I went to bed late, and I could not sleep past six. One morning, I
found a Spanish television show with a French man who was painting a beautiful countryside with
oil paints.
Right then, I began watching this show. With his quiet voice he explained his natural way of
painting, and he quickly made trees and rivers, simply by moving his hand across the paper. He
made it look simple and easy, so I thought I could do it by myself.
Every Sunday morning, I would try to paint what he was painting on the screen, but I needed oil
paints to make my paintings as beautiful as his. I could not buy oil paints; I was only seven, and my
parents would not buy them for me. Then I decided to use my mother's cosmetics and paper for
my painting. I was ready to paint my first picture.
After my mum saw what I did with her things, I was told I could not paint again. This put an end to
my idea of using food the next time to make a picture. After a while, I stopped watching the
French painter. It was difficult for me to simply watch him when I was unable to paint my own
pictures.
Ejemplo:
B. very well.
C. a lot.
A. Ireland
B. Spain
C. France
A. painter's ability.
B. painter's voice.
C. painter's show.
B. once a week
C. twice a week
PARTE 6
I went to Colombia last summer. My journey began on the Caribbean coast and ended on the
border with Ecuador. Colombia is a splendid country, extremely diverse and full of wonderful
people. I will tell you why.
In South Colombia there is a city called Pereira; just outside you can find an area where you will
see the farm Villa Maria - a hidden paradise that takes a long time to get to-. It is a working coffee
farm located in the middle of a valley. Coffee and plantain grow as far as the eye can see. The farm
is made up of the house and the processing plant. The family business has guests at the house for
just $45.000 a night. This includes three home-cooked meals a day, a swimming pool, and as much
coffee as you can drink. The scene is quite unbelievable. Bamboo chairs rest on the corners of the
Villa, mangos hang from the trees and parrots and birds fly wild.
A wonderful man named Hector who runs the farm is happy to show guests around the coffee
processing plant. By day, the only sounds are of the horses coming down the valley side carrying
food. By night, the wildlife comes alive, and depending on the time of the year - thunderstorms
offer a spectacular light show. For those who wish to escape, Villa Maria is the answer.
This is just one attraction of many in Colombia. I could write pages on the country and not get.
bored. I graduate next year and I can't wait to return to this beautiful country. Some of those
reading may be stimulated to do the same.
